It’s almost Halloween. Everybody has their own feelings on the holiday. Kids love it because they get a ton of candy, some parents like it because they walk around with a tumbler full of definitely not water as they take their kids trick-or-treating, and for some people it just means the official start of the

Sometimes, it doesn’t feel real that we have been without Loretta Lynn for a year. While she might no longer be on this earth, her music legacy has continued to grow, making her presence still alive within the country music industry. In 1972, when she became the first woman to win the CMA Award for

We might not all be able to relate to Dierks Bentley’s country music stardom, but a lot of parents will be able to empathize with this video he recently posted on his social media. We’re heading into spooky season, and there probably isn’t anything scarier than teaching a young person how to drive. Bentley was

Some of the best up-and-coming artists of today paying tribute to the best music of the ’90s. ’90s country superstar and hit songwriter Rhett Akins will be hosting a special show tonight live at Ole Red, the downtown Nashville bar owned by Blake Shelton in partnership with Opry Entertainment Group. And while it will feature

It’s always heartbreaking when someone loses their life due to a senseless act of violence. Officer Ryan Clickunbroomer had really just started his life at the age of 30-years-old. He was working as a training field officer for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, and had just celebrated his engagement to his girlfriend four days prior,

George Jones is arguably the greatest country singer of all time. But he was also quite the character. We’ve heard all kinds of wild stories about ol’ Possum over the years, but this one from Mike Judge’s Tales From the Tour Bus always sticks out to me in particular. The series from Judge consists of

It ain’t a secret that Merle Haggard was not only respected by those in the country music world, but across all genres of music. Rolling Stones co-founder and legendary guitar player, Keith Richards, was one of those who admired the Hag. He took to Instagram to recall the first time he ever met Haggard back in

The Grand Ole Opry has had 224 members since its founding in 1925. But until #225, none have been from California. That all changed last night when Jon Pardi became the first California native to become a member of the historic Grand Ole Opry. Pardi was invited to become a member of the Opry back

I can’t get enough of these live performance videos. Charles Wesley Godwin recorded his major label debut album Family Ties at Echo Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina, and has been putting out some awesome, live performances over the last several months from inside the studio that are incredible. And today, he released one for “Willing And

This might be the best country music song promotion that I’ve ever seen. Shane Smith and the Saints certainly know what they’re doing when it comes to making music, and they also appear to have a pretty good grasp on how to bring attention to their newly released song “The Greys Between.” The song itself

That don’t impress me much… Earlier this summer, Shania Twain performed the first-ever concert at GEODIS Park, the 30,000-seat stadium built at the Nashville Fairgrounds and opened in 2022 which serves as home to Nashville SC soccer team. The reviews from the concert were mixed, with some fans thrilled to see the Queen of Pop

I guess it’s too late for Riley Green to add this one to the Ain’t My Last Rodeo tracklist… The Alabama native just released his long-awaited sophomore studio record a couple of weeks ago, but this evening, he’s already sharing new music over on Instagram. Riley teased a song called “Pick A Place,” which finds

Here’s a nice little did-you-know for the country music fans out there. One of the best live performers in country music, Eric Church, has written a ton of great songs that may never see the light of day (or an album of his), however, some of those have landed on projects from other artists over

It’s unquestionable that the influence of Johnny Cash has not only had a profound effect on country artists, but artists from just about any genre imaginable. When you have a songwriter who is able to tell stories so compelling like Cash, and have the commanding persona and presence to match, it’s much more likely that

Artimus Pyle is the last surviving member of Lynyrd Skynyrd who was with the band on the night of the fatal plane crash on October 20, 1977 that took the life of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister and background vocalist Cassie Gaines, along with three others. After legendary Skynyrd

Artimus Pyle remembers exactly where he was 46 years ago. Though not a founding member, Pyle joined Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1975. And on October 20, 1977, the drummer for the legendary rock band was crawling from the wreckage of a fatal plane crash. He managed to escape and notify a nearby resident to summon help,

This is a big week for the Josh Abbott Band. Shortly following the announcement of their next headlining tour, the “Somewhere Down the Road Tour,” and as those tickets go on sale, the Josh Abbott Band has also released their latest single “What Were You Thinking.” The band’s second single in just over a month,

Randall King has a new album on the way. The Texas native just announced a new, 18-track record called Into the Neon will be out everywhere on January 26th, 2024. It’s the follow-up to his major label debut Shot Glass, which King says is a reflection of growth and where he’s at right now as an

Live from Luckenbach, Texas. Since the release of this track in 2022, “Fire In The Ocean” has quickly become a fan favorite. Combine fans belting the words to this with the electric stage presence of  Shane Smith & the Saints, and you have something exceptional. The group has been touring non-stop over the last few

This song proves once again…’90s country f**ks. On this date, in 1998,  Alan Jackson released what would become his 16th number-one single, “Right On The Money.” The single was housed on High Mileage and released as the second single for the album. “Right On The Money” was written by Charlie Black and Phil Vassar, produced
